From ClinicalSkills.net..
Almost two years after launching our new website, even we
are still finding out new and interesting things about our website! So here are
some features that might be new to YOU…why not give them a try?
ONE
Are you always referring to one or two particular
procedures? To make them even easier for you to find when logged into your
individual account, go to the procedure, scroll down to the bottom and find the
link, “Add to your quicklinks”. A link to that procedure will then appear at
the side of your Dashboard.
TWO
If you’re a Super User, you can do the same as in point two,
to promote heavily used procedures to people in your organisation. If you
select the procedure, scroll right down and click on “Add to organisation
quicklinks”, a link to that procedure will appear at the side of the Dashboard
for all your users.
THREE
You know the running news titles in pink at the foot of the
clinicalskills.net page? If you’re logged in, you can click on those and the
link will take you directly to the new procedure/update. (If you’re not logged
in, then clicking on the title will take you to the log in page; once logged
in, you will land in the new procedure/updated procedure.)
FOUR
If you have an individual account, you can load your photo
into your profile so that you can immediately see you’re in your account. (Just
click on Profile in the Dashboard, search for your image on your device and
upload it.)
FIVE
I’m sure you know already that, for best viewing and
printing, you can access the pdf of the illustrated procedures by clicking on
the link under the Organisation Notes section. But did you know that you can
now also download all the references, key reading references, and any notes
you’ve made, relating to each procedure in one go? The link is just above the
one to the pdf of the procedure.
SIX
There are now masses of standard tests available to your
users, if your organisation has upgraded to the full package including
assessments. Just click on Take a test to check out what’s there. Our most
recent assessment, added this week, is called “Wound care: pressure ulcers”, to
accompany our recently published series on Pressure ulcers.
SEVEN
As a Super User, YOU have access to ALL the question banks
that feed into all the tests that are available to you. To view these, when
logged into your Super User account, click on Resources Management from the
Dashboard. If you’ve upgraded to the full assessment package, you’ll find a
couple of hundred question banks in there which altogether contain getting on
for a couple of thousand questions. (Heads up, I haven’t counted them exactly
but that’s a good estimate!) About 300 of those questions are on medicines
calculations. To view the questions in a question bank, just click the title.
(Hint: for more help on using question banks and creating assessments, check
out the How-to Guides from the Dashboard.)
